Killanin seeks solution to Taiwan issue at Montreal Games
IOC president Lord Killanin arrives in Montreal as Canada and the IOC remain at odds over Taiwan. A revived 1960 formula would have Taiwanese athletes compete as Taiwanese without the Republic of China name or flag, while Canada maintains that athletes may enter as Taiwanese only. Killanin holds talks with officials and sports leaders to resolve the crisis ahead of the 1980 Moscow Games.
